Play it slowly Manual
=====================
About
=====
'Play it slowly' is a tool to help you when practicing or
transcribing music. It allows you to play a piece of music
at a different speed or pitch.
Shortcuts
=========
The following keyboard shortcuts exist:
* Alt + P: Play/Pause
* Alt + e: Rewind
* CTRL + 1-9: Rewind (x seconds)
Selecting the audio output device
=================================
You can select which audiodevice playitslowly uses by passing
a gstreamer sink with the --sink commandline parameter.
Example:
playitslowly "--sink=alsasink device=plughw:GT10"
or
playitslowly "--sink=alsasink device=hw:1"
You can also use other sinks than alsa.
Generic Installation
====================
To install use you need to have the following libraries installed:
* Python 2.6 (or 2.5 with simplejson installed)
* PyGTK >= 2.10
* PyGST >= 0.10
* gstreamer >= 0.10 including the soundtouch/pitch element
(included in gstreamer-plugins-bad)
Normally these libraries are already installed on your system.
To install play it slowly execute: ``python setup.py install`` as
superuser (root). If you are using a gnome based system like Ubuntu
you can just doubleclick ``install.sh`` and select run.
Distribution Specific Installation Hints
========================================
Arch Linux
----------
(this could be obsolete by now)
Arch Linux is missing the pitch element, so you'll have to compile
yourself::
pacman -S soundtouch
cd /tmp
wget gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-bad/gst-plugins-bad-0.10.9.tar.gz
tar xzf gst-plugins-bad-0.10.9.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr
cd ext/soundtouch
make && make install
Then test if it worked::
gst-inspect-0.10 soundtouch
Fedora
------
Install gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras
Mandriva
--------
Install gstreamer0.10-soundtouch.
Ubuntu
------
It should work out of the box!
